Gridlock No More: GOP Takes Senate, Holds House
The Dems' only consolation: in the election, Republicans didn't garner the 60-person majority in the Senate that would be necessary to shut off a filibuster.
Short of a big majority, Republicans will hardly enjoy free rein in the Senate, Moran says. But grabbing control of the upper House marks a tremendous strategic victory, nonetheless, since the GOP will now set the legislative agenda. "My take on this is, it's not so much what Republicans can do," he says. "It's what the other side can't do."TheStreet Premium Services
